Yes, I also misunderstood one point.

Even if we re-order like above, we are still retaining the index 
correctly so that will still work.

I checked with kuogee again now, he mentioned he needs this only for 
patch 3.

He is not sure of the root-cause of why turning ON the first display 
fixes the issue . I think that needs to be debugged correctly to answers 
questions posted by you / Dmitry. Lets hold on these patches till we 
have the answers.
